Free Codename Summer (Undercover Embassy, Book Four) by Aubrey Ross Page A

thrust of his hips pressed her knees into her breasts, keeping her firmly pinned beneath him. She caressed him with her inner muscles and her tongue, understanding his need for dominance.
    She’d learned long ago to relax into his demands and her own nature would do the rest. When she trusted him to… She had to trust him, had to make him understand that they were in this together.
    Before he could ask it of her, she carefully weakened her mental shields, creating a small opening. Please, Malik, come inside. I want you here with me.
    He thrust to the hilt then tore his mouth from hers and stared into her eyes. “Why now?” He shrugged, dislodging her legs as he rocked back onto his heels. “What changed your mind?”
    “Trust has to start somewhere. You’ve taken several steps toward me. I thought it was my turn to bend. If you’d rather not—”
    He silenced her with a long, deep kiss.
    They were both panting by the time he pulled away. “I will gladly meld while we make love, but we can’t actually bond until this is over. It would be too dangerous.”
    She shook her head and brushed the hair back from her damp face. “Then why all the pressure? You’ve had a one-track mind since I agreed to meet with you.”
    “I’ve had a one-track mind since I first saw you and that was long before we came to Earth. I want you as my mate, and I wanted—no, I needed—to know you were willing to join with me. But I will not endanger you to soothe my pride. If the Gathosians sense any change in me they’ll probe and scan until they figure out what caused it.”
    “And then they’d use me to manipulate you?”
    “Exactly.” He pressed his hand against the side of her face. “I will do nothing that harms you in any way. Our bonding will have to wait a bit longer.”
    She caught her bottom lip between her teeth then smiled into his eyes. “But we can enjoy each other fully until the battle begins?”
    He pulled back his hips, drawing his cock nearly out before he filled her completely again. His energy flowed into her mind, hot and dazzling. She closed her eyes against the blinding beauty but the swirling colors and pulsing light still burned within her mind.
    Needing the extra intimacy of their kiss, she guided his mouth down to hers. She absorbed his energy with greedy abandon as she flowed across the link and offered herself without reservation.
    They mixed and merged, bodies, minds and spirits. Sharing, blending, joining.
    His body covered and possessed her, surrounding her with warmth and intensity. She sensed the depth of his desire and the blissful realization that she would finally be his.
    Now and forever, my love. She raised her arms above her head, displaying her absolute surrender. She trusted him with her body, her mind and her heart.
    He slid his hands up her arms one at a time, clasping her wrists in a firm grip without disrupting the rhythm of his hips. Now and forever.
    Even in her mind his voice sounded breathless and tense. She opened her eyes as their lips separated but he hadn’t gone far. His face was inches above hers, his eyes ablaze with passion, yet tender.
    His hips pumped, frantically working them toward release, and still his gaze caressed. She flowed with him, propelled by the rush of their combined energy.
    He drove into her one last time, grinding against her pussy as he released his seed deep inside her. She came an instant later, the powerful spasms stealing her breath and muddling her mind.
    He let go of her wrists and gathered her close as he rolled them to their sides, his cock still buried inside her. “Good morning,” he whispered into her hair as he gradually pinched off the link connecting their minds.
    Their beings had only been melded for a few minutes and already she ached for a permanent joining. She’d resisted their attraction for so long that it felt wonderful not to battle her own nature. Rather than dwell on what was missing, she wrapped one of her legs around his hip
